They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and New Haven is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in West Haven, under a mile away.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and West Haven may not have a second place set up for it.

West Haven has 19 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across New Haven.

The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. Distance from home cuts both ways: far enough to break a pattern, near enough for family to take part. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

Anything from a week to a year, depending on what is being treated and how. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

Outpatient programs are built around working hours precisely because most people cannot stop working. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Ask the center what paperwork they can provide for an employer, and what it will and will not say.
